no, rubio isn't going to be rubio, and then romney has to go out and say it is going to be rubio.ly because of what navarro was saying about, this is a huge dis against the most important national political figure in the republican party who's hispanic. >> what we saw today in twelve rather strange hours is marco rubio's appeal and the great danger of marco rubio. it's that wherever his name comes up, people get pretty worked up and pretty excited. and what were people talking about today? not romney's economic plans, not the complaints that they have about obama, which they really want to focus voters on, they were talking about whether he was vetting a potential vice presidential candidate, something that is, in the scheme of things, not that important. >> jonathan capehart, the romney campaign lost control of this today. the romney position being only mitt romney and one other person knows who he's vetting. and then by the end of the day, mitt romney has to reveal, or pretend, at least, that he is vetting marco rubio. this is getting to be an out of control process for them. >>

s no use for a rubio on the ticket? >> you know, they explored the rubio option.io went around capitol hill, had a lot of meetings with democrats, republicans, and the dream students and was trying to craft a proposal. that got the -- that got the white house worried. when the dream activist students started taking rubio seriously, i think the white house realized that they had to act, and so they preempted rubio. rubio is really probably more responsible than anybody for this new policy, and, yet, he seems to get the short end of the stick. that's politics. >> with one fatal swoop, the president could -- rubio and taking some thunder from mitt romney and the gop if they ever had a plan. ann, let me talk to you about tim pawlenty. he was just on giving an interview. he, of course, also on this list. going after the president pretty strongly regarding the immigration policy. let me play mr. pawlenty. >> it's disappointing that president obama, even though he had a democratic congress for the first two years of administration promised the country and particularly th

rubio tells all. florida republican senator marco rubio is often named as a possible vice president running mate for mitt romney. the senator is a cuban american, born in miami, and popular with hispanics. previous to the u.s. senate, mr. rubio served in the florida house of representatives for eight years. so, senator rubio appeals to floridians, a crucial swing state which mitt romney must win if he is to become president of the u.s. senator rubio, age 41, could also help romney pull the youth vote. rubio wrote an autobiography, published this week, called "an american son ." from his ought tow biography quote many people who come here illegally are doing exactly what we would do, if we lived in a country where we couldn't feed our families. if my kids went to sleep hungry every night and my country didn't give me an opportunity to feed them there isn't a law, month matter how restrictive, that would prevent coming here. unquote. >> what is the political impact of rubio's strong words? paul? >> well

marco rubio. marco rubio. we have a latino on our side. watch.ch him do it over and over again. >> i think the action that the president took today makes it more difficult to reach that long-term solution. i happen to agree with marco rubio as he would consider this issue. >> there was a better way, pass a bill that senator hutchison and senator rubio and i have drafted. >> as i listen to senator rubio, i agree with his statement. i think his analysis is correct. i think he clearly understands this is politically motivated to the part of the president. i would have added a little more constitutional outrage to senator rubio's response. >> is it fair to say, then that you support the president's order but you don't support the use of executive power to obtain it? >> i don't support the use of executive power to obtain it. i think what marco rubio has said and i am not sure what the rest of that quote would have been but every other time i have heard him make that quote, he said, and this kind of thing makes it harder to really go back and solve th

rubio says the president is offering a short-term answer, if you're saying rubio has a long-term answer, then is that a better plan? >> i think so. at the end of the day, what you don't want to do is cede band-aid effects. instead you want to address it. what happens, though, it does deflate a lot of the rubio plan, because the president came out first. he's also saying at the heels of the supreme court deciding arizona 1070, which basically gives the states the opportunity to discuss and to decide what immigration policy should be stateside, which i think is a little bit concerns and ants daunting that congress says, wait, wait, wait, mr. president you can't make the decision, that's congress. s. >> back to the comparison, senator rubo saying there should be a long-term -- if latino voters see this as a band-aid will that cure the enthusiasm problem? >> no, i think because the president came out first, it allowed him to use his presidential pulpit to say i'm creating policy in the absence of congress moving. that's where he's actually able to move ahead. he's going to be the buzz on th

but i think even if he is saying he's vetting rubio, i think there's a very good reason not to vet rubiond it's this. this election is either going to hang on the southwest or the midwest as the swing region. and i think right now, it would make a lot more sense for mitt romney to pick someone like a tim pawlenty rather than a marco rubio. you don't necessarily acknowledge that at this phase. fair enough. but i think it's quite sensible for them not to be vetting rubio. >> i do know why he hated 12 hours, because he was trying to clean up a political mess. because someone told the truth, and it was a necessary insult and causing problems for the campaign. >> you think he isn't vetting rubio. >> rule number one, everybody lies. this is that going down. and this is absolutely trying to clean up a political mess after 12 hours because it was an insult to the latino community, rubio and to florida, frankly. >> no, it's not! can we stop sitting here playing this game? erin, i just finished interviewing ice-t, so let me go hip-hop. romney got played. that's exactly what happened here. he got p

rubio's watered down dream act. the president doesn't even try to strike a balance, but the biggest problem i have is that he ignores the constitution and congress and shoves it down our throat. >> the president shoving it down our throat. rubio didn't stop there. >> the problem is that with so many issues confronting the country, a lot of my colleagues would say, why don't we do this now, why can't this wait? i would argue because the young kids want to start school in september. now they're going to say, there is no urgency, it's being taken care of, and it poisons the well by injecting election year politics into this issue, which should be a nonpolitical issue. it makes it harder to find the balanced bipartisan approach. he's doing this as an election year stunt. >> well, senator rubio, it's not about you. it was a leadership moment from the president of the united states when the time had reached a tipping point. that's why americans are in favor of this by a margin of 2 to 1. let's turn to javier becerra. grea

so look, i don't know that it will be marco rubio.aying he's -- the consideration set is an unnecessary insult. >> well, marco rubio himself has said he was not going to be the vp, he didn't want to be. fine. all i'm saying is, you have now opened this box. and it's not some kind of insult, the entire latino community because he wasn't considering marco rubio. he's one guy who is a junior senator, please. >> let me read, carlos sierra for buddy roamer for president. romney can spend all the money his hispanic strategists tell him to, but they're taking him for a ride because there is nothing he can do to get the hispanic vote this cycle. in that case, forget marco rubio. >> if you look at the number of states where the latino share of the electorate is bigger than 10%, it's not a big number of states. the swing states are small, colorado, nevada and florida are swing states. and florida, the latino community there -- not a swing state, not this time around. when you look at florida, that's a state moving in the gop column comfortably.
